8/06/04 Now 18 weeks preg. Anyone with advice?

I am happy and most days seem to go very well. I got preg at Christmas. I had 4 miscarriages in the years before my lap rny. I am still having am sickness. I am currently 1.5 lbs under pre preg weight. Pre op 284 got down to 199.5 now 203.5.

Hey Katrina, Well I'm glad you're doing well... I wish I had some advice, but I really don't know much about pregnancy after WLS. I guess all I can say is to listen to your body and if ANYTHING seems out of the norm, get to the hospital immediately! The only other advice is to make sure your OB/GYN is knowledgeable about WLS, and if not, then maybe your OB can meet with your surgeon to learn more about things to be careful of, etc. I wish you and your little one all the best!!!! Oh, also there's a message board specifically for women who've gotten preggo after WLS... you might find some more info out there!!! I'd go to the main entrance and look through the list of message boards that they have on obesityhelp.com Lots of love! Dawn

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Have you visited the Post op pregnancy board on here? You can access it by clicking on the Communities link at the top of the page and then selecting it under one of the drop down boxes...I can't think of the exact one though. Good luck and I hope you have an easy delivery of a happy healthy baby! Kristy 254/148/130
